[...] Re work: curiously, I recently received an unsolicited email from Google inviting me to 'have a conversation' [managementspeak yeuch!]. This was apparently based on my volume of postings on the forum. (I suspect not on their quality ;-) I suggested that first they look at my LinkedIn page, which would have roughly revealed my age -- already greater than yours will be when you 'come out of school'.
Since then, nothing. Nada. Not even an acknowledgement. Rude, I call it.
I think you'll find ageism is still rife in the industry.
Sorry for totally leaving the original topic here, but: Same for me: Got an e-mail from some "technical sourcer", replied (I'll actually be looking for a job soon), never got anything back. - Twice! I imagine they do a
forM_ (users haskell_cafe) $ \u -> when ("functional" `elem` words (linkedin_page u)) $ send (std_email u) u , but with several agents which don't sync back their results.
Doesn't seem to be age-related, though. (I'm 25)
